actually yes there is. unfortunitly it don't work with MA very well at all. I should say that under ICS it don't work well with MA. now under gingerbread, maybe it does, I don't know. anyway, there is eyes-free keyboard. this has three modes. hidden, wich means you are not using it at all, navigating, wich is a virtual d-pad, you swipe up to do an up errow, down to do a down errow, left for left, and right for right, and tap the center to semulate the select button. and there is the typing mode. I use this with talkback in ICS very well, and it makes things sometimes easier. sadly under ICS when you switch modes under MA, it just says dot, dot, dot, dot. and when you are in typing mode, as you move across the letters, you just hear dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. again, not sure what it does under gengerbread, as I don't have a gengerbread phone anymore.
I hope this helps.

I hate trying to use MA's virtual keyboard. Is there another option for a virtual keyboard? Jarrod Jicha <jamminje...@jjhof.com> wrote: this is why several of us would like to see a virtual d-pad. we know they don't work in menus, however when this happens, touch exploration works nicely. I would honestly love to be able to use MA again as I love there voice typing. it is easy to use. however, until CF actually starts listening to us, and acutally putting a d-pad in theere screen reader it is useless. ferthermore, the scienence speach with the prosimity sensor doesn't work outside of the MA suite of programs in ICS too. if you don't believe me? go listen to podcast 11 on my ICS page located at www.jjhof.com/android/ics and you will see what i mean. -----Original Message----- From: ma_mailing-boun...@codefactory.cat [mailto:ma_mailing-boun...@codefactory.cat] On Behalf Of Chris Miller Sent: Thursday, Ma y 24, 2012 5:33 PM To: Mobile Accessibility Android Users List Subject: Re: [MA] ICS, MA and TB I don't see any advantage of using MA with ICS. I used it with gingerbread and rather liked it. With ICS, touch by explore does most things, but every now and then it is good to have a Dpad in place. MA keyboard doesn't have that feature, and MA and Eyes-free keyboard don't play nice with each other. -----Original Message----- From: andr...@smartphone.my Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 9:24 PM To: j...@jedbarton.com ; Mobile Accessibility Android Users List Subject: [MA] ICS, MA and TB hi all, sorry if this has been discuss several time on the list, perhaps i miss those post. anyway, can anyone tell what are the advantage of MA over TB on ICS? i am currently using samsung galaxy nexus, how to use TB or MA to read the system notification tray?
